LATEST SITUATION IN SOUTH SUDAN

 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the High Commission of Malaysia in Nairobi, Kenya, is closely monitoring the security situation in South Sudan following recent developments that have led to increased insecurity in the country.

Given the heightened risks and the potential for further deterioration of the situation, the Ministry strongly urges all remaining Malaysians in South Sudan to prioritise their safety and make preparations to immediately leave the country while commercial flights remain operational.

The High Commission is in contact with Malaysians through available channels, while coordination with United Nations authorities continues, to ascertain the status of the 18 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officers who are currently serving under the United Nations Police (UNPOL). All of them are reported to be safe.

The Ministry also advises against all travel to South Sudan.

The safety and well-being of Malaysian citizens abroad remain the Government’s utmost priority. The Ministry will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates as necessary.

The High Commission can be contacted through the details below:
